Our Sun has a mass of M = 2.0·10³⁰ kg and a radius of R = 7·10⁸ m.What is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Sun?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Sun can be calculated using the formula g = GM/R^2, where G is the gravitational constant. Plugging in the values given, we get g = (6.67×10^-11 N(m/kg)^2) × (2.0×10^30 kg) / (7×10^8 m)^2 = 272 m/s^2. Therefore, the answer is D.

Our Sun Has a Mass of M = 2
